Floristic influence of Amazonian Lowland Dense Rain Forest on the pioneer vegetation with marine influence, Restinga of Pará state, Brazil

Abstract The coastal region of the municipalities Curuçá and Maracanã, on northeastern coast Pará, shelters a valuable biological heritage, last two remnants Dense Rain Forest shores Atlantic Ocean. On Ipomonga Island (Curuçá) at Marieta Beach (Maracanã), Lowland is notable for its abrupt contact with pioneer formation marine influence, called as Restinga. This geomorphological interface favors floristic connectivity between different ecosystems. research objective was to evaluate, through vegetation inventories, whether these forests remnants, about Forest, are sources dispersal woody species in A total 189 were recorded 50 botanical families greatest richness corresponds dense forest (67 species). Of this flora, 46 (24%) common both typologies, 18 considered new occurrences Restinga Amazonian plains. affinities founded support effect acting source propagule dispersion over influence (Restinga), mostly dispersed by animals (zoocory).
